Is just this
A chance
A chance not to miss.
A day
In my lifetime
I’ll see no more.
Powerful
Some will adore
Knowing
It will be no more.
Cherish
Feel it’s strength
As you pass thru
This day
That will be no more.
Trust
This day will carry you
To the next
And on into forever
Evermore.

There goes the answer
Down the drain with the master
Strength to pull them out
Strength to know what it’s all about.
Not now, not now
Don’t falter
Don’t stumble
Keep your wits about.
The answer goes and speaks
Giving strength
To those who climb up
And get out.
That’s what the answer is all about.

What makes it whole?
What makes it right?
Don’t know the answer on this night.
Striving to
Striving to be
The answer for all that need to see
Healthy, wholesome power and strength
Demure gentle carrying those in need.
We will rejoice
We will succeed
In making whole this life that’s right
For you and right for me.

This is where we are.
Look around and see the beauty
The strength.
See what you need to grow and be the person you alone can be.
Don’t fear.
You are worth it dear.

I can’t help but feel
The strength and power
That is real
Real inside of me
Waiting
Waiting to fill my destiny.
Bow and scrap
To its mighty weight
You will see an escape
Into life meant to be
The best for all
Especially me.
Thank you God
Thank you Lord
For giving me
Power for all I do adore
I can not help but feel
The strength, the power
In this life
I do not rent.

Send the troops
I need support
Can’t tell what is right
Or good.
Send the troops
Let them decide
The way to choose.
Let me rest
For I profess I have not
The strength to do battle
The way I should.
Brief rest is best
Then I will progress
To wage the war
The way I should
But just for now
Send the troops
Please
Send the troops.

Gentle soul gathers strength
Far beyond the power you envision
Dipping down gather up
All the pieces of a frail buttercup
Gently place there, in a safe place
To gain itself, to grow, mature
Into a gentle soul
Gathering strength for you.

Anticipate wonders for yourself. Let them flow from the strength of your being.
Trust you know.
Believe and you will believe.
See all the wonders that are you.

There in my heart
The world comes alive
Feeling the love, strength
Of those I abide.
Dwell deep within
Then rocketing back out
I be the one my heart
Needs me to be about.

Tremendous life.
Tremendous time. Feel the strength.
